It's hard to wrap my head around sincere communication and mimicked behavior, I'm not sure the difference at times. I could give you a technical definition in a heartbeat, however, people may think I understand, but I merely understand the physical process of a joke or gesture sometimes. I believe it is a matter of character. Some people on the spectrum seek connection, and some have no motivation to conquer it.
I can do many things and bring levels of intellect to conversation, if I choose, that most seem unaware of. Yet, when recognizing facial expressions on a chart. I still get 8 out of 10 incorrect.
Adult Autism is a funny thing sometimes. But I feel like it's never too late for yet another light bulb to go off. I say this because I am verbal and able to communicate on a NT level, be it mimicked behavior or sincere, I have simply learned to adjust to YOU'RE world. So take my advise and never stop working on even the littlest of skills that may someday be understood.
